In CS, I'm trying to import a dxf file into to a pcboard mechanical layer. When I import it change the board dimensions. Suggestions?
Thanks

During import, you need to tell CS which units the file is in, see attached.

DXF is a truly terrible format for data interchange.

The format is in Visio. Any suggestions how to avoid DXF/DWG?
CS should let me paste from Visio.
Thx
